Israel Advocacy Group

Looking Ahead: 2026

As we enter 2026, Israel faces a pivotal moment. The region is navigating a fragile peace, yet the battle for hearts and minds has never been more intense. Misinformation spreads faster than truth. Antisemitism is rising on campuses and in capitals around the world. And Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state is questioned daily in the court of public opinion. This is why the Israel Advocacy Group exists—and why your partnership matters now more than ever.

Who We Are

Former Israeli Ambassador to the United States Michael Oren founded the Israel Advocacy Group to be an independent, credible voice for Israel on the world stage. Drawing on his experience as an historian, ambassador, Deputy Minister of Diplomacy, and IDF spokesman, he presents Israel's perspective to millions—through mainstream media, new media, and track II diplomatic engagement. IAG is deliberate, nimble, and effective. We don't just react to crises—we shape the narrative. We build bridges across political divides. And we equip the next generation to stand up for Israel with confidence and integrity.
